Education versus Passion -

So many times people think that to be successful, the main thing they need is education. I’m certainly not going to down play education, but many, many people think that is the key to success. Now certainly education is a contributing factor, but it’s not the most important factor. The key, or the main ingredient, to success is your attitude. Attitude is the real determining factor in whether you will find success. When your attitude is driven by your passions, there is nothing you can’t achieve.

My children really wanted to get a cat, but I wear a lot of black clothes. So I told them that we’re not going to get a cat unless it’s black. So, after looking for a black kitten, they finally had a friend whose cat had kittens and one of them was black.  So, we got a kitten. It’s been very interesting. This cat is so unique and so different than any other cat that I’ve ever heard of.  He likes to climb on my shoulder like a parrot. He likes to lie down right on top of my face when he’s ready to sleep. And he loves to watch the toilet flush. He loves it so much that he’s obsessed with the bathrooms. He has to be in the bathroom with you while you’re in there so he can watch the toilet flush. Then he was so excited about watching the toilet flush that he started trying to flush it himself. Next he started throwing things in the toilet like his cat toys. And then, eventually, he started using it on his own. It’s just really amusing because I didn’t even really try to train him to do this. I’ve heard that there are some kits you can buy that can train your cat to use the toilet. But we did absolutely no training; we didn’t try at all.  It just kind of happened on its own because of his own interest.

Similarly, sometimes people do something because they’ve learned how to do it.  They got the training. They went through the education. And then other people just kind of stumble on something because it’s a passion or a love and no one really taught them at all. They just learned it on their own. One of the biggest differences between the one method as opposed to the other is that the drive may be much stronger for someone who stumbled on something out of passion than those who just got the training.

In our society, many times people who we think are the most successful, like doctors or attorneys, get to that level of success through education. And people think of them as the most successful people in our nation, and it’s simply not true. The most successful people in our nation are actually business owners and entrepreneurs. These are people who most often started their business with nothing but an idea they believed in, like the Bill Gates and the Warren Buffets of our nation.  They are by far the wealthiest of all people. They are far wealthier than attorneys and doctors and other professions. They found that wealth by following their passion and allowing that passion to drive them in a direction toward success.

My cat had no idea what he was doing. He just loves the toilet.  He was just playing around with it - stumbled on it. He was just obsessed. We couldn’t keep him out of the bathroom. As a matter of fact, one of my daughter’s friends thought it would be really funny to flush the toilet with the lid shut so he couldn’t actually see it flush. She kept flushing it and he went crazy jumping all over the toilet because he couldn’t see it, and he really wanted to watch it. That’s what happens when you have that passion. You don’t really know exactly what you are doing. You just feel driven.

I seriously doubt that Bill Gates or a Warren Buffet had an exact plan in the beginning of how things were going to happen. They had no way to know for sure if they were going to be successful or how everything was going to unfold. They just had their passion. If you want success in your life, tap into your passion. What are you passionate about? If you let your passions drive your attitude, you will have your engine revved and running to pursue success. Then you just need to get on the right the path.

Mindset of A Winner: “Certified Media Placement Specialist” Mastery

I have come to realize through my experiences that what you do in life has EVERYTHING to do with the way you think, rather than it having to do with your circumstances. So often, we want to blame our circumstances for what we do. I have learned that you cannot let your circumstances TELL you how to live. You have to live above them.

Our “thinking programming” happens automatically throughout our lives from when we are born to everything we experience as we grow up to where we are today. We have experiences; we learn from our experiences; we develop theories about the world and, especially, about ourselves from what we have learned. These theories seem correct and real based on our experiences. But, usually, they are flawed.

The wonderful thing is that you can reset your “thinking programming.” You can replace your theories that you have developed from your experiences with new theories you can consciously choose. You can choose what you want to believe about yourself. You can choose to think the way a successful person thinks.

This is much deeper than some sort of Polly-Anna-ignore-reality fashion of positive thinking. It is discovering and realizing that you already have what it takes within yourself to be a success. Maybe you just need someone else to show you how to find it. Once you do, you will realize that the things you used to think about yourself were completely false.

One of the best books, in my opinion, to guide someone to change their thinking and find the success within themselves is the book, “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napolean Hill. It was a twenty year study of the most successful people, millionaires and even billionaires, in the fifties. Napolean Hill had been commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to interview the most successful people in the world. His original work, “Success Laws,” was then condensed to “Think and Grow Rich.”

In this work, there are approximately sixteen main characteristics of successful people.  I want to point out a few and how to apply them to be successful as a “Certified Media Placement Specialist.”

1. Burning Desire

2. The ability to make a Decision

3. Persistence

4. Specialized Knowledge

~ Burning Desire:

You have to look inside yourself and ask, “What is my passion?” What drives you? For me, it was providing the best, most stable, environment I could for my kids. I did not want to constantly live in fear of being evicted, having my car repossessed, getting my utilities turned off and worrying about just providing basic necessities. I was tired of being one flat tire away from disaster. My children deserved better than this, and I was determined to find some way to provide that for them. This was my passion. It was my burning desire.

Once you tap into your passion, you unleash a powerful force within that can propel you to success. You can then channel that passion to drive you to reach your goals. What is your passion? What do you want more than anything in life? How could becoming a “Certified Media Placement Specialist” help you reach your goals? Once you make the connection, you will have the burning desire you need that is a keystone to success as a “Certified Media Placement Specialist.”

~ The ability to make a decision:

Successful people have the ability to make a decision quickly, efficiently and effectively. According to Napolean Hill in “Think and Grow Rich,” unsuccessful people make decisions slowly, if at all; then they change their minds all the time. Well, of course you are never going to be successful if you change your mind all of the time. It is like if you are trying to grow a garden, and you keep uprooting the sprouts and planting new seeds. Nothing will ever grow because you cannot decide what to even plant. You are more likely to have a successful garden if you just make one decision about what you want to grow and stick with it. The success of the garden starts with being successful in making a decision.

In business, your decisions become the focal point of your passions. The decision is the magnifying glass that channels the rays of your passions into a focused beam of light. Your goals are like the ant running for its life. It does not have a chance of escaping . So, to apply that to being a successful “Certified Media Placement Specialist,” you simply need to make decisions about what media you want to place and put together a plan of how you will accomplish that.

~ Persistence:

Persistence is the ability to go, even though everything seems to be saying, “No.” Once I made up my mind that I was going to find a way to be successful, I was unstoppable. I stared life in the eye and said, “Don’t tell me I can’t, because I know I can!” I refused to give up, no matter what the circumstances. I do not understand the meaning of the word, “Quit.” Where there was no way, I made a way. You have to INSIST on what it is that you want and to not accept anything less. You have to have a will made of steel. This is what all winners have. They do not win simply because they are better than the rest. They win because they are more determined than the rest.

In business, you can climb to dizzying heights by just taking one step at a time up the mountain before you. The key is persistence. You can apply this principle to being a successful “Certified Media Placement Specialist” by being persistent at learning and applying different media placement techniques.

~ Specialized knowledge:

Specialized knowledge is different from traditional education. Specialized knowledge is being “in the know,” so to speak. It is like the phrase, “Those who can’t do, teach.” The reason people like Bill Gates and Donald Trump are not professors at colleges teaching about success in business is because they are too busy being successes in business. They have specialized knowledge. This is the kind of knowledge you would not learn in a class room.

The best place to acquire specialized knowledge is from people who are out doing it and making it happen. They are “in the know.” To apply this to being successful as a “Certified Media Placement Specialist,” you want to learn media placement techniques from people who are successful and have had success. You want to learn from people actually doing it. With our program, we are actually teaching our students to use the very same media placement techniques that we use to promote our business. We know these techniques are effective because we use them ourselves.

I feel that if someone incorporates the Four Keys mentioned above as a “Certified Media Placement Specialist,” the potential is unlimited! In fact, I am confident to say that if someone applies the Four Keys, they will likely be successful in anything they pursue.

Why Being A Certified Media Placement Specialist Is Critical For Success

You might ask, “What is a ‘Certified Media Placement Specialist?’” Well, first of all, this is not about getting a certification to put on your resume to get a job. Why would we teach you how to work for someone else when we can teach you how to work for yourself? What we are teaching is how to specialize in the skill of media placement. This is bigger than just traditional marketing. However, it is similar in a lot of ways.

When someone masters the art and science of placing media, they start to control the game. If they master many areas, they are what many experts call a “media mogul.” A “media mogul” controls different forms of media and, ultimately, marketing.

When I think of those who have built true wealth in the world today, I think of Time Warner, Ted Turner, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and one of my heroes, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah is self-made. She is a self-made billionaire media mogul. Oprah is now the owner of Harpo Productions, has her own TV show, had a radio show, and does print media and Internet marketing.

We want to show you how to start small and find one or two methods of media that work for you. Then we show you how to add more and more media, allowing your business to grow and develop (often exponentially).

Although, in the beginning, we show you how to use Internet marketing as a tool, it is just one of many media with which to work. It very well could be the fastest, simplest and lowest risk of any of the larger media out there. If you can get things to work on the Internet, you can immediately start to work with placing other media like direct mail, ads in magazines, radio, TV and more.

The best part about this program is that the skills we show you as a “Certified Media Placement Specialist” are transferable to any business or industry.  In fact, from my experience, it is the highest paid skill today. Even if you never work with me in our “Certified Media Placement Specialist Program,” it is my goal to get you to think bigger than you have ever thought about your personal success.

That is all for today.

Mary Gersten - My Story

Hello, my name is Mary Gersten.  I have decided to develop this training forum for those who are serious about building a business and learning the techniques to develop greater wealth and success.

I have partnered with some of the most brilliant Internet marketers there are today to learn their secrets and help put together a program where any average person could have a great opportunity to be successful on the Internet. The result is the “CMPS (Certified Media Placement Specialist) Program.”

To share a little of my background, I started a business with my ex-husband while we were still married, and we built the business from nothing to making over a half a million dollars a year with just the two of us working out of our home. Although the divorce started out amicably, things turned ugly, and I ended up getting cheated out of my share of the business in an extremely unfair ruling by the judge. Having to go out and find a job while being a single mother with four small children, things were extremely difficult, to say the least. Eventually, my struggles led me to a place where I was able to work with and learn from mentors who recognized my desires to hone my business and marketing skills and wanted to help me fulfill my dream to create something that would be truly helpful to people struggling as I had.

I am proud that we show people step-by-step how to go out and live their dreams with something unique and documented.  We supply the tools, examples, sample media, places to place media and everything needed to have “on the job training” while learning the skill of media placement. Our students actually have the ability to learn and test different media placement techniques while they start, run and promote their own home-based business. At our company, in fact, we train you as a “Certified Media Placement Specialist.”

It was not that long ago when we had just fifteen people and a small office. Today, we are approaching seventy staff members (including our on and offsite staff) and occupy about four thousand square feet in an office in Tempe, Arizona.

I have to admit; it has not always been easy. At times, running the company has been an uphill battle. For almost the entire first year, we poured just about everything into the infrastructure of the company including training, tools, equipment, salaries and more. However, we have certainly gone beyond the start-up stage to do something really special. It is amazing what can happen when you put your mind to something.

This journey is just the beginning. Our goal and mission as a company is to help people live their dreams, one person at a time by training them in what I consider to be the most important skill in business: the skill of media placement. 

The “Certified Media Placement Specialist Program” is a collection of over 15 years of combined experience including myself and a brain-trust of leading experts in marketing, sales and business. We are in one of the most exciting growth industries in the world, and it is my goal to transform the industry. And we are well on our way. The “Certified Media Placement Specialist Program” utilizes a unique application and qualification process. As of this posting, we receive over five thousand leads and/or requests from people each week who want to learn about the program. Out of those thousands of requests, we approve a couple of hundred applicants into the program.  If you would like to learn more about the program feel free to visit: http://www.becomeacmps.com
